Sue, The pictures are beautiful but not near as nice as they are in person. I was at Second Hand Rose on Thursday and picked up on of these lovelies for my Daughter in Law for Christmas. She has a player piano and did not have any music for it. This will make a wonderful Christmas gift for her...Thank you!

Love your hose reel/plant stand! I am thinking you must have been at the Junk Bonanza this past weekend. I did not see the hose reel there but I had the ring bell for service sign in my hands set it down and when I came back later it was gone! Had a great time at the Bonanza hope you did too and Enjoy your sign it looks great!!

Lucky enough our local Dunn Bros. Coffee leaves them out for customers to have, check your local coffee houses most of them toss them out!!

Dana,
Love this idea, it is sooo cute and useful besides!! It was great to visit with you at "The Barn Chics" sale on Saturday. Can't wait to hear when your fall sale will be, be sure to let us know! If you want to hook up the trailer and head down to Iowa give me a call!! Maybe we will see you in Oranoco or Shakopee. Be well and keep showing us those great ideas!!

Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, you are amazing!!! Your talents are never ending and so are your resources for junk!! This piece is great, I long some day just to have the parts and pieces for a project like this, much less the brain to think of it!!
Great work.

Great wreaths Candy!! They are all great but I really like the 49-cent wire wreath-simple elegants that doesn't block your wonderful view! Happy Holidays.
Diane

Thanks for sharing, the display is great and I would never have thought of dipping the rag balls in old wax. Clever idea and I bet it smells wonderful!
Diane

What a great idea! I would like to see what you will do with it for other seasons-so many possibilies!! thanks for sharing the steps you used to make it.
Diane

Love your GREENhouse window! The greens are truely beautiful and the colander idea is awesome. Love it!
Diane

What a wonderful way to disply your vintage ornaments, the white trees really show them off! I also love how you have displayed multiple trees near each other-looks great!! When you fill that bicyle backet be sure to give us a peek, I'm sure it will be incredible. Happy holidays.
Diane

What great piece and I love your imagination-not many would of thought of the upside down thing or a chandelier for that matter!! It looks wonderful, great work.
Diane

Your putzing paid off, it looks great and it's even better than cake--eye candy without the calories!Happy holidays!
Diane

Congratulations on the new venture!! I can't wait to get my hands on this!! Probably a good thing it comes out after Christmas or I wouldn't get any Christmas decorating, shopping or baking done!
Happy holidays and best of luck with your ventures in the coming year.
Diane

Thanks so much-the skis are also a favorite of mine a gift from my sister (the one whose husband went dumpster diving for me!). I love her-I think she loves me, too!!
Happy Holidays,
Diane

Thanks for the support Ladies-it's always fun to share!

Sue, This project is great! So nice that it is personalized, any hostess would love it!! I don't think it would be the same if you didn't use the moss or the lime green rocks, they really are great with the paperwhite. Where did you find the rocks, they are awesome? I also noticed the stitching-is that hand painted?
I have used both the etching cream and frosted spray in a can, both work great but the etching cream is permenant and the spray can be removed with paint thinner or a razor blade for a small project. Just something to keep in mind if you are working on a piece that you may someday want to put back to it's orignal state.
Diane

This really is a great lamp and as you said three projects in one! The shade is awesome paired with the camera!

The skates look great with the stenciling and the ribbon for laces adds a very nice touch and I love the punches of red along with the greens. Nice work!

What a wonderful piece! I love everything about it. A great project to do with an old window.

What a great glider, love how you added the wreath and greens and also the snow! A great find and a bargain,too!

The skis look great and I also love the door fronts hanging on the wall. The old screens are fun too, espeially because the old screens were actually metal and can be used to display anything with a magnet on it.

Hello Ladies! I would like to say thanks for the comments, it has been very fun to hear from you. Lanette, I purchased the potting bench at a garage sale in Grand Forks, ND. I believe the gal is now part of Plain and Fancy Antique mall. And, if it is indeed picture #3 that Amy was asking about then you win the prize-it is a cream seperator! Amy if it's the third picture, the piece on the floor is bent pitch fork with a bird house attached, other that that I would need a little more direction as to what you are questioning.

You are truely an inspiration!! I can't pick a favorite thing because each and every thing you have done is wonderful. I missed your open house (I was in Mpls, but the timing was wrong). Seeing your photos I can at least get a glimpse of what I missed. I have been to your blog and have enjoyed the photos there also.

Love them, wish I had a spot to use something as cool as this
in my home!

Great idea, any more awesome trees to show us?

What a georgious idea! Be sure to let us see them in the window after Christmas, I am sure they will be stunning!

Great ideas-keep 'em coming! So little time so many ideas--I find it hard to decorate with all of the great ideas here I continually want to start over!!

Simply adorable!!

If you haven't been there yet, trust me it is truly worth the trip! Kriss also did a house for the Christmas Tour of Homes and did a wonderful job-I drove to Fargo for the show just to see her work in a real home and it was even better than seeing her shop-great job Kriss!! And Kriss, if you're out there-Dave says "Hi".
